Why it is worth attention

It gained over 1,000 downloads within 24 hours, offers comprehensive leftover scanning, and is fully privacy-focused with no analytics or accounts, all built natively for macOS.

Who it is for

macOS users who want to cleanly uninstall apps
Homebrew users managing casks and formulae
Power users needing batch uninstall and orphan file scanning
Mac admins and developers who value privacy and native design

Use cases

Removing an app and all its preferences, caches, and logs with one click
Uninstalling multiple apps at once (batch uninstall)
Finding and deleting leftover files from apps already moved to Trash
Managing Homebrew-installed packages (casks and formulae) from a GUI

Strengths

Native SwiftUI implementation with translucent materials and SF Symbols, matching macOS design language
Finder right-click integration for quick uninstall without opening the app
Privacy-first: everything runs locally, no analytics, no accounts, and updates verified via EdDSA signatures
Multi-language support (10 languages) and Sparkle-based automatic updates with stable/beta/nightly channels

Considerations

Requires macOS 14 or later, limiting use on older systems
Homebrew features depend on Homebrew being installed and may encounter tap trust issues
Gatekeeper may block the app on first launch, requiring manual quarantine removal

Install

Homebrew

brew install --cask gostonx/tap/uninstally

Homebrew will ask you to trust the gostonx/tap tap the first time — this is standard for any third-party tap. A single brew trust gostonx/tap resolves it permanently.

Note: Homebrew's tap trust is system-wide. If you see an error about any untrusted tap (e.g. aws/tap, homebrew/core), Homebrew silently blocks all brew commands — including brew install — until that tap is either trusted or removed. This is not specific to Uninstally. Run brew untap to remove the offending tap, or brew trust to trust it.

brew upgrade --cask uninstally
brew uninstall --cask uninstally
brew uninstall --cask --zap uninstally
